Aidan Hughes has always understood the world with unsettling clarity.
He reads people like patterns, predicts outcomes before they unfold, and keeps his emotions locked behind control.
But when it comes to Lara Vasquez, his best friend, logic fails him. He knows she only keeps him close when it benefits her, yet he stays, trapped in a cycle he can't break.
Then comes the new girl, quiet and observant, who watches him too closely, as if she already knows every part of him he tries to hide.
As emotions blur and boundaries shift, Aidan finds himself caught between a love that weakens him and an obsession that refuses to let him go, forcing him to confront the cost of vulnerability in a world where love runs deep.
If you already knew someone would break you... would you still choose them?
When someone finally chooses you completely... is it love, or something far more dangerous?

He Came Home Early
He survived deployment. He didn't survive coming home. When Staff Sergeant Elias Ward steps off the plane three days early, he expects a quiet house, a tearful hug, maybe the kind of kiss that makes the months apart worth it. Instead, he walks into the one thing he never trained for- his girlfriend on the couch with another man. No yelling. No excuses. Just the sound of something inside him breaking. Elias leaves that night, but the damage follows him everywhere-into his sleep, into his work, into the parts of himself he thought were unshakeable. And she isn't done fighting for him. Not even close. She wants forgiveness. He wants to forget. But love doesn't let go that easily. This is a story about betrayal, the brutal work of rebuilding trust, and the kind of love that refuses to die quietly. He came home early. She made the worst mistake of her life. Now they have to decide if love is enough to survive the wreckage.![APRICITY [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/351180595-256-k757987.jpg)
APRICITY [Completed]
The main trope is MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE with lots of groveling. Other than that, I won't reveal any tropes because they make a story very predictable.Complete
